The Cruelest Blow

Here i am away from you As time just marches on I can feel it all slip slowly from my hands Til one day its just all gone. I think about my love for you Some days it seems just a dream And all i can do is hold the memory Of how things used to be I gaze upon your photo And your smile brightens up my heart But when i lie down in my empty bed My soul just falls apart. You were what i always wished for I thank God for the day that i met you But life has played the cruelest joke By stealing my moments planned for you.

Carl, you have expressed your sadness with such beauty. I hope you are drawing from a long ago memory and that this is not something you are currently going through.
